Abridged: Recent simulations have explored different ways to form accretion disks around low-mass stars. We aim to present observables to differentiate a rotationally supported disk from an infalling rotating envelope toward deeply embedded…

Understanding mass, size, and surface mass density of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in galaxies is key to insights into star formation processes. We analyze these in M33 using Herschel dust and archival IRAM 30m telescope data, compared to…

We present distances to 76 medium-sized molecular clouds and an extra large-scale one in the second Galactic quadrant ($104.75^\circ <l<150.25^\circ $ and $|b|<5.25^\circ$), 73 of which are accurately measured for the first time. Molecular…

Of all the factors that influence star formation, magnetic fields are perhaps the least well understood. The goal of this paper is to characterize the 3D magnetic field properties of nearby molecular clouds through various methods of…

We present a three-dimensional (3D) extinction map of the southern sky. The map covers the SkyMapper Southern Survey (SMSS) area of $\sim$ 14,000 ${\rm deg^{2}}$ and has spatial resolutions between 6.9 and 27 arcmin. Based on the multi-band…

We run numerical simulations of molecular clouds (MCs), adopting properties similar to those found in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way. For this, we employ the moving mesh code Arepo and perform simulations which account…

Context. In order to understand the evolution of molecular clouds it is important to identify the departures from self-similarity associated with the scales of self-gravity and the driving of turbulence. Aims. A method is described based on…

How can we tell complex point clouds with different small scale characteristics apart, while disregarding global features? Can we find a suitable transformation of such data in a way that allows to discriminate between differences in this…

We present distances to 56 molecular clouds within $10\degr \leq l \leq 20\degr$ and $|b| \leq 5.25\degr$ from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) $^{12}$CO survey, 47 of which are first-time determinations. The molecular clouds…

We decipher intrinsic three-dimensional shape distributions of molecular clouds, cloud cores, Bok globules, and condensations using recently compiled catalogues of observed axis ratios for these objects mapped in carbon monoxide, ammonia,…

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) hold a lot of information about the state and the structure of the ISM. Structure can most directly be observed by extensive spectroscopic surveys, including surveys of stars where DIBs are especially…

The study of molecular clouds in galaxies beyond the Local Group is limited by the need to efficiently sample diverse galactic environments across galactic discs, typically resulting in a loss of resolution. Using a high-resolution dust…

Leveraging a high-resolution 3D dust map of the solar neighborhood from Edenhofer et al. (2024), we derive a new 3D model for the dust-traced surface of the Local Bubble, the supernova-driven cavity surrounding the Sun. We find that the…

[Abridged] Molecular filaments have received special attention recently, thanks to new observational results on their properties. In particular, our early analysis of filament properties revealed a narrow distribution of median widths…

The complete three-dimensional structure of the magnetic field within molecular clouds has eluded determination despite its high value in determining controlling factors in the star formation process, as it cannot be directly probed…

We consider the reconstruction of the interface of compact, connected "clouds" from satellite or airborne light intensity measurements. In a two dimensional setting, the cloud is modeled by an interface, locally represented as a graph, and…

We self-consistently determine the 3D density distribution of NGC 551's stellar disk and study observational signatures of two-component stellar disks. Assuming baryonic disks are in hydrostatic equilibrium, we solved the Poisson-Boltzmann…

We consider the general problem of fitting a parametric density model to discrete observations, taken to follow a non-homogeneous Poisson point process. This class of models is very common, and can be used to describe many astrophysical…

The high cosmological precision offered by the next generation of galaxy surveys hinges on improved corrections for Galactic dust extinction. We explore the possibility of estimating both the dust extinction and large-scale structure from a…
